Pockethernet is a smartphone-enabled tester that provides you with a high-end feature set at an affordable price point. It gives you insights into all relevant data needed to troubleshoot and maintain Ethernet networks. Simply hook it up to any Ethernet cable, switch or patch panel and get a detailed reading within seconds.

Pockethernet allows physical level tests like length measurement and failure detection with just one end of the cable connected. The availability of power over Ethernet or phone services can also be identified on the line. On the Ethernet level, the link speed and quality can be measured, while the built-in TCP/IP communication allows for network connection tests.

Review by smallnetbuilder.com“Pockethernet does the job of better-known handheld cable testers at around half the price“

Review by movingpackets.net“Pockethernet is remarkably good value. It’s at a price point that puts a fairly comprehensive set of features within the reach of not only professional engineers but also domestic network engineers“

Check whether pins on RJ45 jacks have been crimped in the correct order. Pockethernet also tests the shield for continuity.

TDR

Advanced cable testing with only one end connected to Pockethernet. Determine how long a cable is and if it contains any short circuits, split pairs or bad terminations. Pockethernet also detects if a cable is connected to a switched-off computer or switch.

Graphical TDR

Generate a graph of signal reflections throughout the entire cable length. You can view the length of connected cables and any imperfections they may have (such as extenders or patch panels).

PoE supply detection

Measure the presence and voltage of Power over Ethernet to ensure a sufficient power supply for your PoE devices.

Voltage detection

Find out if any pairs have a phone line or passive PoE connected to them. This allows you to detect services and to protect your network equipment.

Cable toner

Determine the location of cables in a wall and identify single cables in batches or at patch panels. You can set different tones and even control their volume to keep signals separate.
